The Artist

Paint me white,
Color me green.
Bruise me bloody
Haunt my dreams.

Take every inch
Every piece of my skin
And change my appearance
Let the evolution begin.

Be my apocalypse
You're already my plague.
Take me and ruin me
In every way.

Muffle my screams,
Paint over my mouth.
Unwrite the notes
That I scream and shout.

Cradle my being,
Then remove the hinges.
Unscrew my sanity
Let the pain come in binges.

Tend to my wounds
With lemons and steel.
Use your inevitable charm
And force me to heal.

Paint me white,
And color me green.
You're the artist,
The man of my dreams.
